I totally just walked into the math cafe and asked if there was a logician in the house.

Bhutan has a $200-250 per day, per head fee for tourists. Guess which nationality it’s designed to keep out?

I don’t blame them.

So, I want to buy a new monitor.

My current monitor is 27", 1440p and I don't want it to be smaller. I guess I'm looking at something between 27" and 30". Probably 4k.

I want it to have HDR support as well as support Freesync. Price is not really a critical issue.

Any suggestions as to what I should get?

Oh, great, and this whole mechanism is part of base-files. You can't just delete a package to get rid of it, since it's a core, essential package.

#Ubuntu is placing ads in its motd when you ssh in.

The way it fetches this ad is by doing

USER_AGENT="curl/$curl_ver $lsb $platform $cpu $uptime cloud_id/$cloud_id"

curl -A "$USER_AGENT" ...

In other words, Ubuntu is sending Canonical tracking information so it can serve you an ad.

This doesn't exactly run every time you log in (it caches the ad in /var/cache), but still... phoning home for a frickin ad?

#IRC of #mozilla will be shut down. Bye bye to all the other 4190 users.

Ah, dekstop Linux. Because why name an application by what it actually does, when you can instead steal & squat on another name that means something completely different?

I think that in 10 years time, Py2 will declare that WE are the ones that are obsolete.

The key to doing things is to make it easy enough. The key to getting people to do the right thing is to make the right thing the easiest thing to do.
